Bechem United lost 1-0 to Asante Kotoko at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in the BetPawa Premier League on Wednesday.
Enock Morrison’s 21st minute goal proved to be the difference to send Kotoko back to winning ways.
Coach Kassim Mingle’s side snatched three points over Great Olympics in their previous outing and were hoping to earn another win against Kotoko to close the gap on Aduana Stars.
However, the Hunters ended up dropping from the second position to third, with Enock Morrison’s first half goal enough to earn the reigning Ghanaian champions a vital win.
The head coach for the visitors admitted that his boys didn’t start the game well but the responsibility for their 1-0 loss lay squarely at goalkeeper, Aziz Haruna’s feet.
“I’m disappointed. Initially, we were not playing our normal game when the match started untill we conceded before we started playing our normal game. Is unfortunate we conceded that early goal.
“It was a mistake from the goalkeeper. At where he was, they shouldn’t have scored him at the first pole. It has happened so we will go home and correct our mistakes,” Coach Kassim Mingle stated in an interview with StarTimes.
